Are you ready for summer? It’s just a few months away! We know you water lovers are thinking about it – especially with the bitterly cold weather we’ve all experienced lately. Just imagine it… the warm sun on your skin, your favorite ice cold drink by your side, and your toes in the water. Have you thought about your poolside style yet? Well don’t worry, because we’ve gathered poolside fashion and color trends from around the web so you can enjoy the fun days of summer, stylishly.

For the Gals

The good news is that this season there’s no particular print that’s on trend, we’ve seen nautical stripes, polka dots, tropical/floral prints, paisleys and crochet textures (and everything in between) in a variety of hues and styles for all shapes and sizes. You’ll be happy to learn that figure flattering vintage styles, ruched materials, ruffles, and fringes are still in. You’ll also see lots of color blocking by way of pattern and solid color mix and match, and graduated color blends. Ultimately you should wear the style you feel most comfortable in, a swim suit style that really suits your body shape and spice it up a little by embracing some of this year’s vibrant colors taking the fashion world by storm.

If a one-piece swimsuit is your style, and you’re not a huge fan of patterns, why not opt for something in a bright solid like turquoise and pair it up with bohemian themed accessories with like color accents?

And for the Guys

As we’ve seen in recent years the main trend for swim trunk length is still just above the knee, boardshorts are still very popular and flattering for most and are available in a variety of rises. Bright neon colors, earth toned solids and mixed prints are hot this year. From Hawaiian prints and wide checks to graduated stripes, there’s something for every taste.

For a convenient vacation style, go for a neutral colored trunk so you can effortlessly transition from pool to restaurant with a nice light linen or cotton shirt in a contrasting color – white always works! Don’t forget to dry off first!
